Lesser Italian White Varietals (Duchman Family Winery Driftwood, Texas): The overall favorite in this tasting flight, it had a nose of tropical fruit but initially was bitter, with dried prunes, dried fruit, and balsamic notes. Well-balanced with good acidity, it may have been slightly oxidized (to the discerning) but developed flavors of ripe plum, wild strawberry, dried apricot, clove, golden raisins, and pineapple.

Great nose, dried fruit and spice. Complex fruit coats the mouth. Long lovely finish. Very similar to the 2006, just a bit more mellow and integrated. great wine and a great value.

Very strong nose of quince - interesting! Friendly in the mouth, enough acidity. At the end a bit flat.
